ABSTRACT={The long-range goal of this program will be to develop intelligent automata
capable of gathering, processing, and transmitting information in a hostile
environment. The time period involved is 1970-1980. The short-range goal will
be to design and develop a mobile automaton to accomplish nontrivial missions
in a simple environment in a self-contained mode—that is, with little
or no human intervention.

Objective

The objectives of this project
are the following:

To conduct the necessary theoretical research and
to develop the hardware and software to control a mobile automaton in its performance
of nontrivial missions in a real environment.

To design, assemble, and
test such hardware and software.

To conduct a program of exploratory research
using the mobile automaton. The goals of this research will be to test the
theoretical concepts developed during the program, to expose key problem areas,
and to explore methods of enhancing the performance of the automaton.
